This may or may not be news to you, but craigs+list is now charging $25 to employers placing help wanted ads.
So I paid $25 and took out this ad in Central L.A. I'd link it, but they are pretty pissed apparently. I'll just paste the text at the end of this email.
First of all, the ad sent my website through the roof.
Second of all, people have been sending me their resumes when I specifically told them not to do so. Some people even attached cover letters and writing samples. NONE of which I have even bothered to open.
I took the ad out to promote my site, but it was too tempting to troll some of them. Turns out, I'm getting new material for that $25 as well. But back to craigs+list . . .
I log in and immediately a huge contract is right in my face. New Terms of Use. It was way too detailed to read, I skimmed right to the part about $1,000 damages for each violation of their TOU.
